  2. 1. Reading a glycocode - mechanism and function of galectin-glycan interactions

    Author : Emma Salomonsson; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; galectin; specificity; affinity; multivalency; fluorescence anisotropy; glycan array; serum glycoproteins; anginex;

    Abstract : There is an intensive interest in characterising the structure and function of galectins, which is not surprising given their many important cellular functions and strong implications in human disease. Understanding the mechanisms involved in galectin functions will help to find selective and novel strategies for disease treatment and diagnosis. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cellular receptors for viruses with ocular tropism

    Author : Emma C Nilsson; Niklas Arnberg; Eric J Kremer; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adenovirus; picornavirus; receptors; antivirals; Virology; Virologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology; Infectious Diseases; infektionssjukdomar; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : Several viruses from different virus families are known to cause ocular infections, e.g. members of the Adenoviridae, Picornaviridae and the Herpesviridae families. These infections are spread by contact and in the case of adenoviruses (Ads) and picornaviruses they are also highly contagious. READ MORE

  5. 3. Early host cell interactions and antivirals against ocular adenoviruses

    Author : Rickard Storm; Niklas Arnberg; Saw See Hong; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adenovirus; Virus host interactions; Antivirals; Sialic acid; Integrins; Epidemic keratoconjuntivitis;

    Abstract : Viruses are common causative agents of ocular infection among humans. Epidemic keratoconjuntivitis (EKC) is a severe and contagious ocular disease with reported outbreaks worldwide. It is estimated that this disease affects 20-40 million individuals every year, which leads to huge socioeconomic costs for the affected countries. READ MORE

  6. 4. FROM SERUM TO TISSUE: GALECTIN-BINDING GLYCOFORMS OF SERUM GLYCOPROTEINS AS FUNCTIONAL BIOMARKERS

    Author : Michael Carlsson; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Galectin; glycoproteins; intracellular sorting; biomarkers;

    Abstract : Galectins are small soluble proteins defined by a conserved sequence motif that forms a defining β-galactoside binding site shared among galectins; adjacent binding sites give each galectin a unique fine specificity for a specific subset of galactose containing glycans. A wealth of data now suggests important roles of galectins in both cancer and inflammation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Advances and Applications of Antibody Arrays - Proteomic Profiling of Pancreatic Disease

    Author : Anna Sandström Gerdtsson; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Proteomics; affinity proteomics; antibody microarray; pancreatic cancer; pancreatitis; biomarker; immunosignature;

    Abstract : Recombinant antibody microarrays have advanced into indispensable tools for large-scale, high-throughput multiplexed serum proteomics. This thesis, based upon five original papers, deals with the development of an in-house designed antibody microarray platform, and its applications for serum profiling of pancreatic disease. READ MORE
